The Greatest Generation came of age during the Depression and the Second World War. In the minds and at the hands of those who lived during this time, our country saw a unity of spirit and a tenacity to overcome like no other. As men and women worked to keep America strong and build it back up, they also celebrated in a way that is still admired today. On Monday, July 22nd, guests at Dancing Marlin’s Taste of Noir: Touch of Pinup event will get to embrace this rich period and even capture the moment on film.

Against a timeless train station backdrop, Ken Hawke of Star Visions Photography will take professional shots of guests in their vintage finest. A tasteful peek at a garter or two also gives a nod to the pinup trend of the time. Cocktails and food from the incredibly diverse Dancing Marlin menu will round out the experience deep in the restaurant’s Underground Room.

“We knew when we opened the restaurant that we wanted to offer something not only unique to our regular customers but also signature events that would be vivacious and trend-setting. Ken is an amazing photographer. He has a way about him that is all at once flirtatious and inspiring and yet oh-so professional. We are really lucky to have him join us,” says Dancing Marlin owner, Tom Kara.

So grab your patent leather pumps, birdcage veil and red lipstick or go ‘Rosie the Riveter’ for the night. Guys can channel their best Bogart or Cagney. Either way, a great time is sure to be had; however, get tickets now because the theme is crazy-fun and space is limited.
